Overview

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday villa in Favignana - Villa punta San Nicola

Unique property only 100 m from the sea , 3 independent villas

Villa Punta San Nicola is a little paradise located on the island of Favignana, the largest of the Egadi Islands. The property is just a few steps away from the beautiful Cala San Nicola (north-east)

It enjoys a prime location due to its proximity to the sea, while being only 1km from the town center. The large 12,000 square meter park contains three houses with a vineyard, an orchard, and a Mediterranean thicket and has unsurpassed views of the Favignanese countryside, the sea and the coast of Sicily (Trapani, Erice, a wren reserve and Marsala). Also there are various seaside areas nearby, like Cavallo, Red Cove, San Nicola Cove and Graziosa Cove.

Over the years, the property has undergone a meticulous restoration, careful to maintain the spirit of the Sicilian and islander tradition. The floors and décor are comprised of tiles and objects collected over the years in the Sicilian markets. The 12,000 square meter garden, with its vineyard and orchard, overlooks the sea and has numerous fig trees, lemon trees, mandarin trees, pomegranate trees and delicious prickly pear cacti. Also, in the springtime, the garden offers you seasonal delicacies such as artichokes, fava beans and asparagus.

Villa Punta San Nicola is divided into three independent and private houses, each equipped with their own garden, kitchen, air conditioning in all the rooms, and outdoor area with a pergola, a barbecue (2 areas), and shower.

The property consists of:

-Uliveto: a living room American-style kitchen combo, sofa bed, 2 double bedrooms, one of which has a bathtub, 2 complete bathrooms and an outdoor area with a shower, a BBQ patio and an outdoor kitchen.

-Vigneto: a glass living room loft, a kitchen, 2 double beds, one per floor, bathroom + shower, a second double bedroom with a bathroom + shower, and an outside patio with a shower.

- Patio : a bedroom, a complete bathroom, a kitchen, an outside patio with a shower.

One of Villa Punta San Nicola’s strongest points is certainly its closeness to the beach, only a 3-minute walk to Cala San Nicola. Also the town is very close, only a 1-minute drive. Favignana’s landscape is mostly flat, making the bicycle the ideal transportation on the island.

What a fantastic holiday!

We came to Favignana for a family holiday with lots of children and we really had a lovely time.

The house is stunning, renovated with an amazing taste while at the same time keeping it simple- just perfect! Someone might think not having a swimming pool might be a downside, but it was actually great to be obliged to go and explore by bike (very easy!) the many beaches on the island. We would have otherwise stayed all day in our little paradise...Cala San Nicola is just round the corner, and you can easily get anywhere by bike.

Good to be in a quite place outside the village, and there is plenty of space and tables for eating outside and have lovely fish barbecues.

The owner is very welcoming and helpful, happy to help and give suggestions whenever he can.

I really couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Our group was 5 adults and a baby, we rented Uliveto and one of the rooms in Vigneto for a week and had a wonderful stay. Uliveto has a massive living area, the kitchen is really well equipped and the outdoor eating area is fantastic (it has both gas and wood bbq's which we used a lot). We also loved the outdoor shower and spent a lot of time lounging on the sun beds under the olive trees - bliss! The villa is a little way out of town so we rented a car for the week b/c of the baby, but most of the other guests just had bikes or scooters and had no problems getting around. Favignana itself is quite a harsh landscape but the beaches are amazing. There are a few beaches in walking distance of the villa, one with sand and another very beautiful rocky one with natural swimming holes that was our favourite (San Giovanni?) Carla Rossa is only a few minutes drive away and lived up to expectations! Davide organised a sensational day for us on Rosario's fishing boat, we explored a number of beautiful beaches and Rosario cooked up our catch for lunch, absolutely fantastic. Davide is probably the most helpful host we have encountered, he bent over backwards to make our stay a good one and made sure we had everything we needed for the baby. Hopefully we'll be back soon!
